Google, June 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
The location is very good for the views but perhaps a bit far from the important points, although on this island without renting a scooter it is complicated to get around.
Tripadvisor, September 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
The location is a little far from the main areas of Mushroom Bay and Jungutbatu, but the views from the villa overlooking Nusa Ceningan are phenomenal and worth it.

You need a taxi or scooter to get around23 of 2871 in 12 reviews
We were able to rent a scooter directly from the hotel, which was a huge plus as it's essential for getting around the island, even though the hotel has a shuttle service.
Google, August 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
Taxi or scooter rental is mandatory to discover the very pretty corners of this island.

Problems in the bathroom15 of 2871 in 19 reviews
bathroom kept flooding from the shower - making the floor rather dirty.
Booking network, April 2026, rated 5/10 by this guest
The only negative: the bathroom (located outdoors with caterpillars, mosquitoes, smell, heat and humidity); There are many steps.

Mould or damp9 of 2871 in 32 reviews
Overall, I was quite disappointed with the quality of the rooms (a strong musty smell + mold), and the noise in the room—caused by water dripping from the pool—was uncomfortable.
Google, July 2026, rated 2/5 by this guest
We were in room 824, which was very clean but a little damp due to the presence of a private pool for the rooms above.

Insects or pests8 of 2871 in 36 reviews
A lot of insects in the room as well like caterpillars.
Google, May 2026, rated 4/5 by this guest
It wasn't a 4 star resort as advertised it was really 3 star and the bathroom had dead cockroaches in the drawers and the shower was slow to drain and overflowing a bit, the bathroom was average for a 4 star resort.
